Green on the mind

I did that once as a young halfling. An experienced, but unequipped, veteran Leatherfoot Raider gathered a group of us young halflings. He stank of jum, but promised riches. Runnyeye Citadel.

We battled down through goblins, close to the king's throneroom. The veteran halfling was unerringly familiar with the dungeon as if he had made the trip many times before.

Suddenly we were ambushed by a group of elite goblins. I hid but the other young ones bravely fought and died. The naked veteran stinking of jum looked at the barrel behind which I as hiding and gave a wry grin before disappearing in a blue explosion which I now know indicates a resurrection.

The only evidence of the haggard old dog's sortie into runnyeye was graffiti left on the wall alongside the corpses of the youngsters. It read "Filbus was here".

might consider playing for this.

Apologies for lack of smut or wordplay, I usually like to include some if I think you're likely to read the post [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

People need to stop considering playing EQ a competition these days.
1) The only competition there is, is how much time you're willing to spend and nothing else. You don't amass riches and kill dragons because you're making science out of EQ and improving your skills. You do because you spend time.
2) Unless you're willing to quit real life, you will lose the time competition, because there are people around that did quit real life.

Thus, don't even join the competition. Just enjoy the game. Enjoy the orc camp groups, the crocodile quality time in Oasis. Cherrish the South Karana spire gnolls or the beauty of kiting that damn treant around the druid ring.

You'll have the best of your times by just not playing their game, but having fun.

Is it confirmed Green will roll back into Blue population after some time?

[Squabbles123]

I'm gonna roll on green, simply because I joined blue pretty darn late and I'd like to play the game at the "launch" level again with so many people grouping that'll it would be hard to go solo.

I just wish I didn't have to wait till October.

Anyone have a quick list of the changes from blue currently to a fresh green? I know there will be a lot, but I'm curious of the big ones since I only stated EQ after Kunark.

I heard about exp penalties, but what are other big ones?

I'll be running a druid methinks

Will probably play both to some extent.

Agree that the competition stuff is kind of stupid, and have never competed on Blue.

But I also think Green won't just be about a competition for guises and manastones, everything will be contested. Things that people don't give a rat's ass about on Blue anymore, where essentially the only competitive stuff is at the very top end.

The idea of running around with a bunch of fellow newbies ekeing out an untwinked existence singing kum-bay-yah is alluring, but it's unrealistic. People are gonna screw other people over on things that Blue players stopped caring about 8 years ago. People are going to monopolise the good xp camps.

It's fine to hype, and I see some people being called downers, but Green won't be all sunshine and unicorns. If you accept that and still have fun, cool. But it's ridiculous to be all like "you guys are just bitter naysayers!! Green will be everything!". It's just the truth. Gotta be prepared for that.

This post makes me excited for a vanilla PVP server. Maybe teams. Just a bunch of lowbies fighting over orcs or dervs. That's fun!

A group of 55s breaking into hate looking to loot trash armour getting ganked by multiple 60s in velious BiS: not fun.
